You forgot PT's pub on every corner! Chicago's Own steakhouse was really great. Sad to see them leave. Bahama Breeze is pretty good too. For Italian there's Piero's. I no longer live in Vegas and moved back home to Huntington Beach, CA. Piero's has a restaurant here called The Ritz located in Newport Beach. Off of Eastern and St. Rose there was a Hawaiian restaurant I believe closed down. Sorta a locals place off the beaten path.

Tao in the Venitian R, B
The former site of Taboo Cove (RIP)
Great asian decor with some odd items like the opium pipes. The club was closed the night we were there but the Hall of Monk's looks cool on the website.

What is the deal with the Peppermill. I was in Vegas two weeks ago and the Peppermill is closed. There was a note on the door regarding maintenance problems, but no opening date was mentioned. Anyone knows whats up?

Help on this appreciated ... some friends planning their post-renewal of vows drinks at the Peppermill Lounge in mid-April.

Thanks in advance!

I just booked my flight to Vegas for the 25th of this month. I'll make it a point to stop by the Peppermill.

As a Vegas resident, can you comment on the following? They are on my list of places to visit.

1. Huntridge Tavern - Does it vibe Vegas history (or is it just a dump) ?
2. Cheetahs - Are there any nice Tikis here ?
3. Golden Steer - How are the steaks compared to Circus Circus or Binion's ?

Thanks,

JOHN-O
Smiley Sez...#1 Possibly just a dump-I will have to check it out again, it has been a while. The Huntridge Drug next door has a great old lunch counter (diner). Currently it is waiting for someone to run it.
#2 Cheetahs: Russell and Hubert go there alot, but we have a "don't ask-don't tell policy"
#3 Steaks at Golden Steer are the Best, Binions second place and Circus Circus third. Golden Steer has great vintage Vgeas Steakhouse ambiance and Frank Sinatra is almost always on the Muzak. Binions has a great view and Circus Circus has a great classic Steakhouse ambience, but last time I went there my Steak was ok-not fantastic. I did have a great time though.
